"The most depressing place in the world today is Vancouver, British Columbia."


Sounds about right, coming from a blogger in sunny, warm southern California.


But San Diego blogger Arthur Saim uses Vancouver as a place that sinks him into depression — when he compares his own fair city with ours.

The columnist for the San Diego News Network uses Vancouver as a benchmark of urban efficiency and beauty in an Aug. 3 posting.

He describes Vancouver as "spectacularly beautiful," and praises its waterfronts, parks, transit system, urban planning, ethnic diversity, and, yes, its "young, progressive, can-do mayor Gregor Robertson."
